Villari's versatility and soft hands show developmental potential despite limited tight end experience.
Villari, an undrafted tight end, was originally signed by Michigan to play quarterback but didn't play much in two years (one redshirt). He transferred to Syracuse and moved to tight end for 2022. At 6'4" 243 lb., he has slightly above-average arm length (32 1/4") and big, soft hands. On film he looks like a fluid athlete used on simpler routes primarily out of the slot; he quickly (1.66 10-yard split) gets to his spot and gives his quarterback a nice square target with good feel for open space. He plucks passes with his hands away from his body and tucks them away quickly. As an open-field runner he is competitive, getting north/south in a hurry and staying low through contact. The source identifies him as a developmental prospect with interesting versatility—he ran wildcat, can throw well, and has very good hands—but needs route-running work and additional strength.
